Frankly speaking, the difference of "No oil at all" and "Knob at "0" with oil" on PL-70 could hardly be revealed by any entry level carts I have tried in my "mid-fi" system. For other carts, I prefer "no oil at all" in order to get PL-70(my secondary system) closer to my reference...it may be a matter of taste and preference, of course.
In brief, the oil damping system of PA-70, when applied, could offer me the major flexibility to alter some frequencies(mainly mid and mid low) a little bit when using certain carts but at the same time some sonic signature of PA-70 would be injected into the chain. In fact, I prefer PA-70(the tonearm) as 'neutral' as possible as I am more eager to hear the sonic differences of various carts.
I am not trying to suggest one should or should not apply the oil damping as I believe in respect of resonance, different tonearms interact with different carts, turntables, the supporting platforms, listening room(incl floor structure),...and finally subject to the difference in our perception.
For other suspension(i.e. floating, more springy) type TTs, I "usually" apply oil damping in my system if they have one.
